Description

Actress Selenis Leyva, known for her roles in "Orange is the New Black" and "Diary of a Future President," has co-written a book with her sister, Marizol, called "My Sister: How One Sibling's Transition Changed Us Both." Marizol, a model, cook, and activist, explains how writing the book was therapeutic while processing the trauma of her transition, and Selenis shares what it was like to watch her sister live her true identity. Plus, they discuss J.K. Rowling's controversial comments about transgender women, the recent Supreme Court ruling protecting LGBTQ employees, and how to be an ally for the trans community.
